Test Portfolio 3

The second day was hosted by Juan Miguel Cejuela and Jorge Campos of tagtog, with a presentation exploring Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. The slides from this presentation can be viewed here. This was followed by a hands-on session which introduced participants to using the tagtog platform for automated annotation of documents, exploring the ways in which this approach could aid humanities research.

If you’re interested in using tagtog, but you’re not sure where to start, they have some quick tutorials on their website which give just a few examples of the ways in which their tool can be used to computationally analyse and extract data from textual information.

These two days were a fantastic opportunity to get together with researchers in the humanities and computer sciences, exploring the different ways in which we can work together. We heard about some fascinating Digital Humanities projects and learned a great deal from Juan Miguel and Jorge at tagtog about how Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing work, as well as how best to utilise their wonderful annotation platform at tagtog.net.

We hope to put together some more opportunities for workshops like this – keep an eye out for Lancaster University Digital Humanities Hub updates: Twitter | Website
